owner build - suspended pool infinity edge
- Thread starter openpool
- Start date
I think the effort for all this steel work was really underestimated. Days upon days of tying steel beams and matting..still not even done.but in a couple days there'll be 55 cubic meters poured on.
The fourth wall of the pool wall is now being encased with formwork. Here are the 'bond beams' if you can call it that...plus skimmer roughed in..
Stay tuned.

How very observant of you...yeah that 'ladder'...every time I go up and down that thing...huh. Let's wait for when that back wall goes up to road level to see what obtains!
I bet those workers has some sore hands after all of that steel work!
Getting close to done every day. Everything takes longer and costs more I have found. It will get done one day and we will all cheer with you!

update on what happens during back breaking work...
here the second to last beam is being 'interwoven' onto the slab. The steel quantity is 6 tonnes.
here is the last beam going onto the edge wall of the pool. The beam is 12" wide. The wall below is 6" wide. The edge angle will be formed later.
the quantity of propping to make sure that the concrete pour doesn't collapse the formwork is pretty impressive. those jacks are heavy.
Drilling some holes to pass through drain and autofill lines for the trough. it's a cake walk out there for them...not me!
the rain was intermittent today...can really break your stride...but it's good to welcome back the sun..

And getting the concrete down that slope? Yikes! Don't let the flip-flop guy without a harness hold the hose/spigot/thingy!!!!

Not only does the framework hold up the pool it also holds backpack and jackets! LOL
I bet they were cussing your build doing that back breaking work!
Has anyone fallen that you know of?

Yeah they can't wait for that concrete to set....a well deserved long weekend rest after that.
Thankfully, no falls...hope it stays that way.

The view is fabulous but your build is giving me heart failure!!! (J/k) All that steel is really impressive!
Do you have many gawkers around the site, people just curious and watching the build and marveling at the wonder of it?

Who is your architect? I am planning a similar project ( house and infinity pool) on a ridge in a Jamaica so I am following your build closely.
